Waffles

I love waffles! Whenever I go somewhere that there’s a food fair, I check to see if there is a waffle stand. I always liked them quite plain just with a dusting of sugar. Then we went on holidays to the Las Vegas and every morning I had breakfast of waffles with whipped cream and […]

Panna Cotta Tart
